The movie, “Crash”, shows the impact of diversity on people today. Crash begins at the scene of a car accident between two different races. The female Asian insults the Mexican female’s driving and so begins the infamous bigotry. The first scene stops to return to events of yesterday that help the plot develop. To achieve the movie’s moral, several stories are developed and then weave into one central story. The diverse cast with Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Jennifer Esposito, William Fichtner, Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Thandie Newton, Ryan Phillippe and Larenz Tate take the plot to a different level. Bullock and Fraser play an upper class married couple who get their car stolen by a couple of thugs played by, Bridges and Howard. In a rush to find the stolen car, police officers, Phillippe and Dillon, pull over an upper class black couple played by Newton and Tate. Each minor story shows the misunderstood stereotypes that different ethnicities hold. At the start of the movie, this kind of racist humor is amusing, but by the end the humor develops into unity. The director, Paul Haggis, shows each type of ethnicity by seeing stereotypes through each person’s eyes. The cast’s acting did not involve many special acting techniques. Each member of the cast carried the stereotypes held to them real life and how they would react. The film leaves the audience guessing the face of the real villain in the movie and in the world filled with racism. “Crash” leaves the audience focused on the moral that people are alike and are going through the same things. This was a very enjoyable movie that combined lessons, laughter, and loss. --By Lydia Earhart, Staff Writer |
